Celebrating the First Day of School with Staples {Contest} #GoingBack

Everything is back to school these days – shopping for supplies, gathering lunch ideas, and trying to get back into a school year routine with bed times. Makes me think back my school days. The excitement and nervousness leading up to going back. Visiting the school a week before it starts to see who your teacher was and what friends were in you class. Heaven forbid your best friend be in a different class that was grounds for tears. After lazy summers by my Grandparents pool and summer camp adventures I always welcomed going back to school. Plus there was always the highly anticipated back to school outfit. Now most were just jeans and a new shirt, but check this one out from when I started grade 1:

Do you have a favorite back to school memory? I will never forget starting Grade 9, the big transition into high school and walking into my “homeroom” class and being the ONLY girl! Seriously how does that happen in a Grade 9 science class. I ended up making some great friends and one more girl joined the class for a total of 2 of us, but lets just say it was a unique learning environment!
